A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
悲伤
Grief
If she didn’t heal emotionally, if she could never endure a man’s touch… He wasn’t the key that could unlock that final door. There was much he could do, but not that.
如果她不能从情感上痊愈,如果她永远无法忍受男人的触摸……他不是打开最后一扇门的钥匙。他能做的事情很多,但不是那个。
This is my saddest story: In grade school, they would have us open our Valentine's cards and read them out loud. I always sent cards to myself because nobody else did.
这是我最悲伤的故事:在小学,他们会让我们打开情人节卡片,大声读出来。我总是给自己寄贺卡,因为没有人这么做。
Time is not a great healer. It is an indifferent and perfunctory one. Sometimes it does not heal at all. And sometimes when it seems to, no healing has been necessary.
时间并不能治愈一切。这是一种冷漠和敷衍的态度。有时它根本不会痊愈。有时,似乎没有必要治愈。
To feel today what one felt yesterday isn't to feel - it's to remember today what was felt yesterday, to be today's living corpse of what yesterday was lived and lost.
去感受一个人昨天的感受并不是去感受今天,而是去记住昨天的感受,成为昨天的行尸走肉。
You go into the disease as one person and come out of it as a different person. It has changed my perspective on everything. Things that used to upset me no longer do.

I hate people who splash their own pain on covers, like the whole world should hear about them. Why are we all supposed to be interested in one individual's suffering?
我讨厌那些把自己的痛苦撒在封面上的人,就像全世界都应该听到他们的故事一样。为什么我们都应该对一个人的痛苦感兴趣?
I lost my dad way too early and it was agonisingly awful. I missed him so much and I hated knowing that I could never again pick up the phone to tell him about my day.
我过早地失去了父亲,这太可怕了。我非常想念他,我不愿意再拿起电话告诉他我这一天过得怎么样。
I feel like a different person since my mum passed away, like I'm driving a ship with my husband alongside me and we're leading these four children into unknown waters.
自从我妈妈去世后,我感觉像变了一个人,就像我和丈夫一起驾着一艘船,带着四个孩子进入未知的水域。
The first dog I had was owned by an abusive couple. He was very skittish. He wouldn't let me hold him. It was explained to me that it was because of how he was treated.
我养的第一只狗是一对虐待狂夫妇养的。他很神经质。他不让我抱他。有人向我解释说,这是因为他受到了怎样的对待。
Ah gentle pair, ye little think how nigh Your change approaches, when all these delights Will vanish and deliver ye to woe, More woe, the more your taste is now of joy.
啊,温柔的一对,你们很少想到你们的变化是多么接近,当所有的快乐都消失了,你们将陷入痛苦,更多的痛苦,你们现在品尝的快乐越多。
It is portentous, and a thing of state That here at midnight, in our little town A mourning figure walks, and will not rest, Near the old courthouse pacing up and down.
这是一个不祥的预兆,有一件事可以说明,在我们这个小镇上,午夜时分,一个哀悼的身影在古老的法院附近走来走去,不肯休息。
If we had a terrorist attack, the way the people respond is going to determine whether that attack is just a tragedy or whether that attack becomes an all-out disaster.
如果发生恐怖袭击,人们的反应将决定这次袭击是一场悲剧,还是一场全面的灾难。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Sometimes grief is a comfort we grant ourselves because it's less terrifying than trying for joy.
有时候,悲伤是我们给自己的一种安慰,因为它没有为快乐而努力那么可怕。
Do not be afraid that joy will make the pain worse; it is needed like the air we breathe.
不要害怕快乐会使痛苦加剧;它就像我们呼吸的空气一样是需要的。
To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.
要给予和接受爱,你必须接触到痛苦,你必须能够激发和感受它。
The conscience of an artist worthy of the name is like an incurable disease which causes him endless torment but occasionally fills him with silent joy.
一个名副其实的艺术家的良心就像一种不治之症,给他带来无尽的折磨,但偶尔也会让他充满无言的喜悦。
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
希望的突然破灭会留下一道伤疤,而这道伤疤永远无法被希望的最终实现彻底抹去。
